PETALING JAYA: Despite surprise rate cuts in some Asean countries due to weak domestic demand, Malaysia is expected to maintain its overnight policy rate (OPR) at 3% throughout 2025, as analysts cite resilient economic fundamentals and fiscal reforms.
Maybank Investment Bank Research (Maybank IB) expects the OPR to remain unchanged this year to support domestic demand amid a slight easing in gross domestic product (GDP) growth.
